	Peter Gabriel: Album Reviews
		Peter Gabriel, both solo and with Genesis, is normally a reliable chap; his albums are generally consistent in terms of quality control and tone.
		A perusal of the lyric sheet reveals that many of the songs are individually verbose enough to fuel an entire punk album, although Gabriel's complex imagery obviously wouldn't fit the genre.
		Gabriel's approach to recording is probably correct for his age: once you're past your youthful confidence and your initial burst of inspiration has dried up, the best way to produce a great album is to grind it out.

	Peter Gabriel (1977)
		When Peter Gabriel resigned as frontman of Genesis two years ago, he said it was to search for the unexpected.
		Gabriel's more symphonic tracks, some with five or more movements, are so complex they can become staggering.
		Cut to "Solisbury Hill," a superior, lilting soft-pop tune that conveys the album's most autobiographical message: "I was feeling part of the scenery/I walked right out of the machinery." Cut to the thundering "Modern Love," an exhilarating rocker that rates with the Stones' best.

	TrouserPress.com :: Peter Gabriel
		Peter Gabriel numbers three and four were both issued (separately) in Germany — and later, on CD only, in the UK — as (Ein) Deutsches Album, with Gabriel singing all the lyrics in German (as translated by Horst Königstein).
		Gabriel returned to a fuller sound on his third album, emphasizing striking electronics developed over unusual rhythms and delivered with seeming desperation.
		Gabriel delivers his examinations of fear and disaster with an oddly paradoxical new emphasis on hope and restraint, displaying his usual fine craft and quality.

	Peter Gabriel
		What Peter was trying to find here is a new prescription, a new direction for rock to follow, by doing quite a simple thing, in fact: taking these rock basics and meshing them with those existent musical styles that haven't yet been married to rock, or have been married to it insufficiently.
		Since his departure, Peter has released about ten albums, and, while there can still be found traces of an old Genesis sound on the first two ones, it sometimes seems to me that he's been intentionally alienating himself from his past all this time.
		This is not the first time Peter ever experimented with such kind of things ('Biko' on his third album, for instance, is in the same pattern), but certainly the first time he did it on such a grandiose scale.

	World of Genesis - Peter Gabriel - Album Reviews
		To call Peter Gabriel's third self-titled project a landmark album is a huge understatement, not only in terms of his career, but also in terms of modern pop music.
		Peter Gabriel's second live album is a mixed bag of predominantly newer material recorded while on tour in support of the Us album.
		Some listeners might not be crazy about the idea of a Peter Gabriel album that appears to be more of a collection of songs performed various artists, but the album has quite a few stand-out tracks, not all of which are sung by Gabriel himself.

		Gabriel is a distractible perfectionist, which amounts to a kind of purgatory for anyone who lives a public life, let alone a creative one.
		Gabriel's greatest achievement is that his technical sophistication actually encourages a fully organic and man-made sound.
		"Up" opens into a song called "Darkness," which sets the album's tone and is perfectly dreamlike, slipping easily between what feels first like the churning bowels of some fitful, sinister machine and then the aural expanse of moonless midnight in an exotic garden.

	peter gabriel: melt
		This is the second song in Peter's series of "semi-instrumentals" and in hindsight acts as a fairly heavy precursor for what to expect in Peter Gabriel and particularly Birdy.
		Some of the songs from the third album (with altered words or Gabrielese) were premiered at this performance.
		Peter wanted to create a new sound for the 80s and building songs from the ground up (as in establishing a rhythm and then structuring chords and melody around it) was, he decided, the way to do it.

	Peter Gabriel
		Peter Gabriel's So may have been a bit more mainstream and accessible than his previous albums, but i still like it.
		In this album, Peter doesn't use his favorite toy, theÂ vocoder, in order to give a sense of reality to his lyrics; the results are the best words and the clearest images that he's ever created in his whole solo career (of course, I'm not including Supper's ready, Firth of fifth and The Lamia).
		Peter also contributes his best vocal performance of the album, both in singing and in his lyrics (which I guess are about being in a rain of blood, perhaps after a heavy battle or something like that).

		Peter's debut and the first of 3 self-titled efforts (4 if you live in Britain; his fourth album was called Security in America, but was just another Peter Gabriel in Britain).
		Peter Gabriel's second solo effort (produced by Robert Fripp of King Crimson fame) was clearly a transition effort between the wide-ranging musical styles of his debut and the pure psychological thrill of the following album.
		At the top of this, Peter Gabriel released his solo album, which is one of the darkest albums in the history of world.

	Peter Gabriel - album - UP Reviewed
		Gabriel is well known for not taking life very lightly and this album is no different from any of his other solo efforts or previous albums with 70's prog-rock mammoths Genesis regarding the weight of subject matter.
		There is no doubt that Gabriel remains one of the most restless creative and prolific artists of our time, and this album is proof that the man is a genius but maybe not the most accessible.
		Peter Gabriel releases his 12th Studio album "UP" A work in progress for the best part of a decade.

		Peter Gabriel has never been happy to rest on his laurels and produce mediocre material, something that few of his contemporaries could boast.
		Gabriel's voice is a remarkable phenomenon, which he manipulates in-studio to underscore a sense of isolation and disembodiment.
		But Gabriel not being able to decide where to go with his ambitions is Gabriel at his best, and by this standard, "Up" is probably his best studio effort since "So", or even the earlier 3rd LP "Melt".

		Obviously, Gabriel's is a condemning view of the current TV craze, so you won't be seeing him on "Dog Eat Dog" anytime soon, but that doesn't mean he's not watching.
		The determining factor in coming up with the title of Gabriel's ninth proper album (not including 1989's Passion, his soundtrack to the Martin Scorsese film "The Last Temptation of Christ") was left to his fans.
		Gabriel is planning a video to accompany the song, though he kept ideas for the treatment under his hat.
